/dev/lp1 bad configured

1999-09-20 Thread Krosigk, Lorenz Von 
Hello,
when i try printing (debian 2.1 with kernel 2.2.4 and magicfilter lp,
PC-StyleHardware in kernel) lpq gives back:
/dev/lp1 doesn`t support this action (or something similar) tunelp /dev/lp1
-i 7 gives the same.
Does anybody know how to get lp1 that supports printing?

Thanks

Lorenz

Lorenz,

This may be an erroneous answer, but on my system it is lp0.  As I
understand it, /dev/lp0 translates to LPT1:.  Unless you have two parallel
ports, you might not have a valid /dev/lp1 (LPT2:).  Could this be the
problem ?  I think mine gave the same error when I tried to print to it ...

2.2.x kernels use lp0. Change from lp1 to lp0 in /etc/printcap

The 2.2.x kernels use /dev/lp0 instead of /dev/lp1.
